I was surrounded by hippe mountain people, then frijoles, then upper class rich kids, then ghetto New Orleans from childhood to HS graduation.
Going from frijoles and the Valley of Texas to upper class white kids in the Midwest, was most shocking to me.
The one Mexican kid in the upper class white kids time period didn't take too well to being called a dumb cholo. Plus, most of those kids had never heard that term before.
The white kids were also unaware as frick about anything relating to other races, as 96% of the community was white. Those people were fricking weird.

My dad (born 1946) and my mom (born 1950) didn't really express their experiences growing up.
My uncle (born 1939) who married my moms sister only said he didn't trust white people when he was growing up in the 1950's. He was born in Houston, but lived mostly with his grandmother in Lake Charles. He wouldn't go to HS football games in Houston because the blacks from 3rd Ward and 5th ward were ruthless. During that time, there were only 3 black high schools (Yates, Wheatley, and BTW). After every football game somebody was getting their arse kicked. He didn't go to HS football games in Lake Charles (Wildcat Stadium) because the whites would torment the blacks if they caught them alone. He told me stories of whites taking rotten produce out of dumpsters and throwing it on blacks. He said whites would ride around at night with 2x4s sticking out of trucks and hit black people with them as they walked home. He said it was rough. Blacks lived in Goosport and whites lived across Broad Street.
Years went by and he went to work for a white man in a BBQ restaurant. That man became a mentor and my uncle speaks highly of him to this day.
I was born in 1980, and only went to school with blacks and hispanics when I lived in Houston. I moved to Lake Charles in 1996 and attended Barbe. The rest is history.

took him to mean that because he doesn't shy away from acknowledging crime statistics, society views him as racist. I don't disagree if that is his point. Go on TV and say that virtually all of the random violent crime in your area is committed by black people and you'll be treated like David Duke.
Bingo. That was the intent.
16% of the population commits an extremely disproportionate amount of pretty much every crime except alcohol/dwi crime. But apparently acknowledging this is “racist”.
But frick it. If being “racist” keeps my family and me less prone to being victims than I’m good with it.
I don’t discriminate against individuals, but I damn sure keep an eye on neighborhood demographics. The numbers don’t lie.
Even those two white SJWs we all talk about don’t live in the hood.

I have eyes, ears, and a fricking brain...a huge majority of blacks don’t like whites.
They’re open about it, they don’t hide it...I’ve been called cracker, honkey, white boy...”check your privilege”, “you don’t know what it’s likw to be poor” “y’all owe us”. “You can’t say this” “you can’t have an opinion on this”
I know when the frick someone or a group of people don’t like me and I know why. I’m not stupid.

Well when you only make up 13% of the population and you commit over 50% of homicides nation wide that's a lot of killing for such a small population of people. Might want to re-evaluate your facts

I was born and raised in a small town in Southwestern Mississippi in the mid 70s and early eighties. I am one of very few people my age who actually witnessed segregation. My first and second grade years were spent in a segregated school and I recall our city swimming pool having signs that read No Blacks Allowed except on Wednesdays between 1pm and 5pm. They would then drain the pool and refill it on Wednesday night to reopen on Thursday. My Mother was not a racist person but my Father and Grandfather definitely were! My Grandfather belonged to a secret organization that I don't think I need to mention the name of and my Mother was always disturbed by that. She didn't find out until two years after marrying my Father that he also was a member but he no longer participated after moving out from under my Grandfathers roof. I have memories and have heard stories that still to this day bother me at times.

my grandparents on my mothers side were racist POS's and the world is probably better off without them. i loved them but it's still true.
my parents weren't though.

Never heard my parents utter the n word.
But pretty much all the baws I grew up with used it liberally so I did as well
Grew out of it in college and never say it now unless Im pissed while driving.

If being called white boy constantly in New Orleans while growing up is racist, then yes.
Posted on 6/12/18 at 4:27 pm to Cosmo
It wasn’t considered a racist environment then, fairly progressive actually. But if compared to today’s standards, yes

Based on your posting I'd disagree.

I'm going to give you benefit of doubt on this. I think it doesn't have anything to do with them being black, but them openly representing themselves as unsavory people. We have instinctively correlated appearance to character. When we see something our instincts come in, that's natural. Being triggered by seeing any black person would be a different story, but you, like most people, see someone presenting themselves as a thug will assume they are just that.
Thanks for that. Yeah, you said it better than I did. And If I saw any race dressing and acting thuggish, trashy, gang like, I'd have those same thoughts.
But I'll tell ya, my past way of thinking bothers me and I try every day to make up for it.
